Linda,
        This is from the midwife list and people swear it works like a
charm. I have heard that this is in the process of being studied. One
warning is that it can burn a bit, keep the grains of cayanne down to as
few as possible.

I hope this helps.

Taking the cayenne inside the nose helps to open up the blood vessels.
This enables the blood to get nutrientsto all parts of the brain.

        To stop a migraine follow
        these simple steps:

| 1.  Open the capsule and dip the flat end of a dry
|     toothpick into the cayenne to pick up 3-4 grains.
| 2.  Block one nostril and gently put cayenne up the
|     other nostril.
| 3.  Sniff deeply 3-4 times until you feel the flecks of
|     pepper in your throat.  (If you don't feel this, do
|     it again).
| 4.  Once you feel the warmth in your throat, you headache
|     should be gone in minutes

The archives is a wonderful source of information.  Give it a try!
